What do you suggest as a solution.Less time doing the 'everyone but me is a candle lighting twitter sissy' act, and more time just coming out with succinct proposals might serve you better.so you could see the critics sit back on their fat moaning unproductive arses, propose nothing, solve nothing, and complain about everything
Greencap I was trying to locate the post with your proposals, but I think I must be looking in the wrong places
There's this one, but my sarcas-o-meter tells me it may not be a real proposal :What we need to do is change Europes political landscape in response to individual terror acts.
Divide up into smaller areas, get rid of teamwork, and elect extreme solutions on the basis of fear.
If we just reduce our liberties a bit then we reduce theirs too.
Thats certain to stop it.
Then there's these replies, maybe there was some proposal that you deleted afterwards ?ffs.never mind.
Then there's this one, but again ... hhmm... I think it's sarcasm. Maybe it isn't ?Carnage which can be stopped if we just break up the worlds biggest trading bloc and geographical union.
Sure there might be another global recession, and the lives of Europeans would be irreparably damaged, our personal and professional opportunities flushed and our negotiation power with the US, Russia, China reduced to that of individual ants, but at least there'd never be another terrorist incident in Europe again. 100% guaranteed.
Break up the EU.
Putin, Trump, the far right, and the British tabloids can't all be wrong.
As I said, it's probably just me, I just couldn't find the post !0 -
Migrant neighbourhood in Zaandam.
98% of The Netherlands has access to cable(tv).
There is really no starker image to my mind of the failure of integration than that. It says it all really, they may live in one culture, but are entirely untouched by it. They exist in another and the TV they watch, the news and media they consume, the communities they live in and the people they marry, all enforces a separation from the indigenous culture they inhabit.
Add to that a religion that is ideologically supremacist and advocates violence against non adherents and trouble can be expected.
The West has been more than accommodating to Islam, it has got nothing back but a slap in the face, again and again. I don't mind turning the other cheek once, but we're rapidly running out of cheeks to turn so I really hope the morons in charge wake up before we get a shiv in the chest.0 -

Every single home in Dutch cities has cable connection.

They're offended that people who move abroad continue to watch TV from where they came from. I'm sure they're equally offended by those scoundrel Paddy's abroad who VPN RTE player, don't bother watching TV in the countries they have moved to, watch the likes of Love/Hate, Father Ted, Graham Norton, The Late Late Show, etc over the equivalents of where they have moved to, and are disgusting enough to record the Toy Show and watch it after work or over that weekend.
Just such rotten, horrendous behaviour I am sure you can agree.0 -

Erdogan...racist Imam. Dealt with ISIS because the enemy of my enemy is my friend. Claims that Muslims discovered AmericaTried to ban alcohol on Turkish Airlines. Wants his son-in-law to build a shopping centre and military barracks in Gezi park. On his way to turning Turkey into another Iran.
But I reckon if he's not shot soon(and after he begins to hang the people he claims tried to overthrow him he most likely will get to visit his 72 virgins in heaven) Putin will rip Turkey apart.0 -

Yes. Turkey's as good as gone.
I'm still pondering the idea of an Islamic Father Ted 0 -

oh sweet baby jebus, please tell me that no actually does this. with the exception of norton the rest is utter ****e that does not belong on the airwaves ffs. tell me no one is daft enough to move aboard and still watch it
A lot do. Toy Show can be a bit of craic for homesickness some feel around Christmas (and the Canadians thought it was a great idea funny enough)... but it goes all the way down to the likes of Coronation Street, Eastenders and, yep, Fair City. :eek:

They're more likely watching soaps.
http://www.hurriyetdailynews.com/turkey-worlds-second-highest-tv-series-exporter-after-us.aspx?pageID=238&nID=73478&NewsCatID=345
I looked up the trailer and it well, does not exactly look a prime suspect to be on the series reminder for your average jihadist threat...
Apparently some of the other most popular TV shows from the world's second largest exporter, and again... not exactly what hardline Islamic extremism, now are they?
Some of them look interesting
I was going to check but I was too tired at that point. I don't imagine they're all sitting rigidly and staring fixedly at Erdogan on the screen, anyway. Although I'm sure jihadists have their vices, maybe soap operas do it for some. The mustachiod fella looks a bit sleazy, did you see the smirk on him when Dila held his hand?
And there was an attempted truck attack at around 1:08! I think it was something to do with inheritance money, though.
I'm going to watch these someday. Reminds me of the Mexicans Telenovelas.0 -

It's a funny mix, some really great landscape shots in there but the interior stuff looks a bit dodgy and the acting largely hammy as feck.
You've a good point on the telenovela shout actually (and the first one really seemed to be ripping off some of looks of the warmer climate stuff from Game of Thrones)!
I'm sure you do get the odd person using it to watch some dodgy stuff of course, but just find it funny how some people seem eager to convince themselves they're all religiously (bad pun!) watching Hamas TV on the sly because it fits into the stereotype they have built in their heads of people from the middle east. Truth is it's far more mundane than that by and large, just people watching the same comfort TV that they're used to because it, well, makes them feel comfortable.
All that said... would it not be easier to just use the internet like I did for football internationals, six nations, etc!?0 -
Satellite Dishes?
Hyperbole on Super Crack!
If you knew the context, in the Netherlanda it has become representative of communities that do not integrate, that live and work or stay at home among themselves, speaking arabic, socialize among themselves, television is largely from home.
After the murder of Theo Van Gogh there was a show on integration, there were entire areas where people lived in separate worlds, where families lived for years without hearing Dutch.
The next generation was closer to a young adult in Morocco in outlook than a Dutchie.0 -

If it's like the French channels, you can't watch them on the internet from abroad. Royalties sort of stuff. Except the news and the odd documentary or tv gameshow.:mad: 0 -

The problem for you though is that I wasn't complaining about the Paris situation, I wasn't claiming to have a solution to the title thread, the subject in question.
Rather I was complaining about someone constantly complaining.
And yes, I did offer at least some kind of suggestion; that the complainer in question be placed in charge, so that he would have the opportunity to ameliorate the situation, to show us how its done.
YOU however, complained about me complaining, without offering any kind of suggestion yourself, to anything.
I at least offered a solution to a situation, albeit not the situation in the title thread.
You just complained about someone complaining about someone complaining.
You offered nothing, while saying I offered nothing.
